Villans: Flirting With Glory
Aston Villa enjoyed their greatest momentum during the last decade of the 19th century through 1920, the season in which they secured their sixth FA Cup. Unfortunately, that year marked a downturn in their performance that would prove virtually unshakable until 1957. During that season, Aston Villa won their seventh, and to this date, last FA Cup.
Aston Villa's success was short-lived.
Though they succeeded in winning several League Cups, they failed to make a significant mark in their FA Cup campaigns until 2000. In that year, they battled their way into the Finals only to be dismissed by Chelsea. Fans who had bought Aston Villa tickets hoping for a club revival were understandably disappointed. Changes were demanded and in 2006, Martin O'Neill was hired to replace departing manager David O'Leary. The following year, O'Neill implemented a number of team changes to help turn the tide and launch Aston Villa toward a new era of success.
